So, my question is, what troops should I be building to counter these guys? It doesn't have to be Sarmatia specific, just in general. I'm not losing thanks to my Gorgon, but this is the first time my troops have been outclassed this badly in quite a few games heh.

Yeah the normal Van/Helheim troops rock too  .
As a rule of thumb i noticed in my SP games that you have to outnumber them 5:1 at least to have a chance.
If you outnumber them that much their fatigue+swarming eventually kills them.
Missile troops help, and battlemages help a lot, especially bladewind and magma eruption are useful spells.
If you play a blessnation like F9W9 Mictlan you should not have too much problems with the AI van/helheim armies. |

Theres the eye of the void/void eye or something similar that see's through illusions though i thought it was mainly to dispell phantasmals/false horrors ect.

Re: What do I build to counter High def glamour un
My thinking was to give someone with high precision that eye and a good bow then tell them to fire at rearward. If anyone tests that, let us know how well it works.

It's construction 4 right? Not much help against a rush.

Re: What do I build to counter High def glamour un
The easiest way to take out glamour units (imo) is AoE spells like falling fires/frost.

Re: What do I build to counter High def glamour un
Thanks for the ideas guys.
My most effective strat so far was to use a black servant thug with an eye shield, he can't hit them very well but they can't hit him either, so they all blind themselves and rout.
I suspect this wouldn't work vs a f9 bless but it's pretty effective in SP.

Not unless you give him Fire Immunity...  Well OK a human will be smart enough to whell in a counter to your thug.
